“…In contrast to the previous tree species, information about the implication of environmental and climatic factors on the growth performance of black locust is rare. As a pioneer tree, black locust is regarded as a drought-adapted tree species, showing high morphological and physiological plasticity and therefore, it is planted even in regions with annual precipitation sum values below 600 mm a −1 [52]. Subjected to water limitation, the leaf area of black locust reduces drastically in order to minimize transpiration, although affecting the growth performance [53,54], whereas the production The empirical data for the yearly woody biomass increment, regarded as the reference period values, were significantly higher than the maximum values achieved under the timeframe of forty years.…”

In Brandenburg, north-eastern Germany, climate change is associated with increasing annual temperatures and decreasing summer precipitation. Appraising short rotation coppices (SRCs), given their long-time planning horizon demands for systematic assessments of woody biomass production under a considerable spectrum of climate change prospects. This paper investigates the prospective growth sensitivity of poplar and black locust SRCs, established in Brandenburg to a variety of weather conditions and long-term climate change, from 2015 to 2054, by a combined experimental and simulation study. The analysis employed (i) a biophysical, process-based model to simulate the daily tree growth and (ii) 100 realisations of the statistical regional climate model STAR 2K. In the last growing period, the simulations showed that the assumed climate change could lead to a decrease in the woody biomass of about 5 Mg ha−1 (18%) for poplar and a decrease of about 1.7 Mg ha−1 (11%) for black locust trees with respect to the median observed in the reference period. The findings corroborate the potential tree growth vulnerability to prospective climatic changes, particularly to changes in water availability and underline the importance of coping management strategies in SRCs for forthcoming risk assessments and adaptation scenarios.

“…In order to produce dendromass for energy purposes, the plantations are usually harvested in short cycles (so-called mini-rotation) and are established with densities of 7,000-16,000 stools per ha [1,2]. Due to their characteristics, a number of different tree species are generally suitable for cultivation in mini-rotation SRC and are also permissible under subsidy law in the European Union [3]. However, in Europe and particularly in Germany, varieties of the genera poplar (Populus) and willow (Salix) are most common and widely used for cultivation in mini-rotation SRC [1,2].…”

We surveyed occurrence and activity of large- and medium-sized mammals on six commercial mini-rotation short-rotation coppice (SRC) plantations in northern Germany by camera trapping in different seasons (winter, late summer). In total, eleven species (6–9 per site) were detected. This corresponds to the majority of mammal species occurring in the study region. Roe deer, wild boar and red fox were found across all sites. All other species were detected on fewer sites and some in only one of the seasons. Roe deer was the most active species both in terms of visit frequency (days with detection) and use intensity (detection numbers). With few exceptions on individual sites, all other species showed significantly lower activity. Number of detected species and activity of most of the species did not differ between seasons. Furthermore, there were no differences between near-edge and central areas of the crops with regard to the activity of the occurring species. Activity of individual species on different sites, however, differed considerably in some cases. Our results show that a wide range of mammal species are basically able to include SRC into their habitat utilisation. However, the sporadic use by most species indicates a rather limited current habitat value of the surveyed plantations. Options to increase the habitat value of SRC for mammals are suggested, but their effectiveness needs to be tested in future studies. Since the spatial and temporal scope of our study was limited and only SRC of a uniform age-class were considered, our results are not immediately applicable to other landscapes, seasons or types and management phases of SRC. Therefore, further research is required that considers these aspects as well as species-specific patterns of habitat selection in comparison to other habitat types.
